Kevin Feige gives another update regarding the Guardians of the Galaxy movie making it clear that it isn't Marvel's Star Wars.

Feige tells Empire, Guardians of the Galaxy exists in the Marvel Universe, perhaps trying to clarify for fans that think just because it's a space movie it will be the Marvel version of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

We’re not making this to make Marvel’s Star Wars. We’re doing this to explore the other side of the existing Marvel Universe. The fact that Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) is a human from our time, that he carries a personal cassette recorder with him, already it’s very different. It’s not a long, time ago in a galaxy far, far away, it’s now in a galaxy far, far away.

Also the piece of concept art revealed was vaguely similar to a famous scene in Star Wars as well:

The "Guardians of the Galaxy movie" has an August 1, 2014 release directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt as Peter Quill Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax The Destroyer and Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Benicio Del Toro as The Collector, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Lee Pace as Ronan, DjimonHounsu as Korath the Pursuer, with John C. Reilly as RhomannDey and Glen Close as Nova Prime.
